RUNNING IN
For the first 50 hours of operation of the machine do not employ more than 70% of the
maximum power indicated in the technical specifications.
STARTING AND WORKING
1- Make the earth connection (see the USE INSTRUCTIONS).
2- If the machine model IS NOT equipped with a earth leakage circuit breaker the
available socket is intended ONLY for connecting the machine to a switchboard
equipped with all protection devices imposed by current law regulations.
3- Check the state and efficiency of the cables.
4- Make sure that all the switches and electric connections are in the right position for
starting (see USE INSTRUCTIONS and CONTROL PANEL DESCRIPTIONS).
5- Use the machine in well ventilated places, taking care that the exhaust gas and the
welding fumes produced (where welders are used) do not stagnate. Keep the machine
away from walls or other obstacles in order to avoid air or gas recycling. If the
machine is employed in closed places, use forced ventilation in order to ensure proper
air recycling.
6- While welding, eyes and body must be protected by gloves, mask and appropriate
clothes.
7- Fuel refill must not be made while smoking or close to flames. This operation must
be done when the engine is switched off.
8- Do not over fill the tank and clean up any spillage.
9- Check daily for loss of fuel or lubricating oil.
10-For machines provided with a liftable canopy engage the canopy securing brackets
where fitted.
WARNING
Y Do not connect the machine to the commercial electric network.
Y Do not work close to flammable materials or where there is explosive gas or vapours.
Y Do not work in confined or poorly ventilated places.
Y Do not touch the exhaust muffler or adjacent components.
Y Do not carry out service operations while the engine is running.
Y Any service on the electrical circuit must be done when the engine is stopped and only
by qualified technicians.
Y Keep clear of moving parts of the engine while it is operating and do not approach the
machine with loose fitting clothing.
SERVICE AND CLEANING
We suggest frequent cleaning of the machine since the presence of dirt can compromise
efficiency.
The frequency of this operation depends on the environment in which the machine is
used. We advise to pay special care to the service of::
OIL LEVEL, OIL FILTER, AIR FILTER, FUEL FILTER, COOLING LIQUID
LEVEL, RADIATOR, VENTILATION DUCTS AND INTAKES, BATTERY
ENGINE USE AND SERVICE manual and the SPECIFICATION section to know
how and when it is useful to do it. The extraordinary service operations not mentioned
herein require the aid of specialised technicians (see the Engine Dealers list).
